SEEDS THAT WILL PRODUCE COTTON P LA NTS TWK N TV FEET HIGH. Advices from Atlanta, Ga., re late that Charles Jackson, a cot- ton planter, is in possession of I i. ill r . . 11 twenty Dusneis oi cotton seea that, it is predicted, will revolve tionize the cotton growing; in dustry of the woild. From these seed, it is claimed stalks. attaining great height can be grown, that will yield from two to four bales per acre on the poorest sort of land. "The" quality of the product is S-iitl to be remarkably good, and as fine as long staple cotton. The seed from which the cotton is grown came from Africa, so the dispatch says. While in the very heart of that country a wealthy American, travelling for health and recreation, it is said, discov ered a held of cotton plants, none of which was less than twenty fret in height. A bota nisl who accompanied - the party cut from one of the tallest stalks a section of about eighteen inches, and it was from this stalk that the seed came. While touring the South some years later, so the dispatch re lates, the African traveler met Mr. Jackson and presented him .vith the seed. At the next planting Mr. Jackson determin ed upon a severe test of the seed and planted it in the poorest land ofhis farm. It thrived be yond his most sr.nguinc expecta tions, sa the storv go. s, and so yreat was the vield that other growers in the neighborhood vijwe l the-product with alarm. Should this seed become gen erally used, they reasoned, the co. ton crop oi the South would so increase that the industry would be ruined. So great be came this fear among the farm ers that a committee was ap pointed, it is said, to wait on Mr. Jackson, purchase the seed and desrtoy every vestige of it. Si multaneously, it is stated, the Nvw Orleans Cotton Exchange wired Mr. Jackson to set a price on his holdings, requesting at the same time that lie send a simple ol the cctton stalk for -die investigation of the board. Learning of the New Orleans correspondence, so the dispatch sas, tlie farmers' committee oi fered Mr. Jackson $i3.ooospot cash. He refused the offer, it is said, and holds'out for a higher figure. Members of the New York Coiton Exchange, who had heard of this wonderful product spoke guardedly on the subject yi stern iy. To a New York Times report er Mr. William Mohr, of Mohr & Vannemaun, expressed the opinion that if such a seed ex i steel it would certainly prove a benefit to the Southern cotton planters and nut a detriment. If -it was possible to ten in such crops the cotton acreage could be correspondingly decreased and the land used for cultivating other salable farm products. Mr. P. S. Galaati, of Ralh Uros., declared that such a yield would mean cotton at a cint i p juird. aud therefore ruin lor tlip farmers that raised it. Mr. Iv. Maudelbauth thought it was yet to early to express an opin ion. York Times.

DU MAURIER IS NO MORE. the author of "trilby" diks in london of uk art FAILURE. George Du Maurier, the artist novelist, author of "Trilby," died a few days ago in his new house on Oxford Square, Lon don, England. A fortnight before hi had a chill and his lungs became af feeted. His illness was pathetic in the extreme. For days he hovered between life and death; at intervals conversing with friends legaidiug his work. Once a friend referred to the success of "Trilby" as abook and as. a play, whereupon DuMau rier replied: "Yes, it has been successful. But the popularity has killed me at last." Mis end was painless and he passed - away surrounded by friends. One who was present at his de ith says: "He died almost as tragically as Svengali. At the zenith of Trilby's fame he became a vic tim of the heart, and Du Mau rier has gone the same way." George Louis Palmella Du Maurier was born in Paris March 6th, 1834, and educated in that city, but was a British subject. . - Killed Wifeiand Child.

Excursion Rates on Railroad and Steamers. Four Days Remember tlie Dates An Arkansas man is the latest claimant for the invention of a machine which will successfully pick cotton, but if his anticipa tions fail of realization we think that there will be few persons who now derive a profit irom gathering the cotton crop that will regret such a result. Forty or fifty million dollars are an nually expended in gathering the cotton crop in the Southern States, and should a cotton pick er be invented which would do this work a large number of these persons who are now pros ducers of wealth would become non-produciug consumers and thus add to the difficulties which would confront many laborers. Labor saving machines are not always an unmixed blessing, as many thousands of printers in this country can testify who have within the past five years been deprived of their ability to earn a livelihood by the use of typesetting machines.

WHO TH E ANABCHfST. A MASSACHUSETTS PREACH ER DEFENDS BRYAN AND DENOUNCES HANNA Says McKinley is a Mortgaged Candidate. A correspondent writnig to the News and Observer from Boston, Mass., says: In com pany with several hundred other Bosloniaus last Sunday I went to the famous shoe manufacturing city of Lynn, Massachusetts, to hear Rev. Herbert N. Cason preach on the subject, "Who is the Anarchist, Bryan or Hanna?" The largest crowd ever assem bled at a Sunday service in Lynn were present at the Labor church. The vast auditorium was thronged. People of all po litical inclinations crowded the available space until it would hold no more. Prominent offi cials of the city, including Dem ocrats, Republicans and Popu lists,, labor leaders and a delega tion from the Bryan. Sewall and Williams club of Boston were conspicuous. The minister's fame is not confined to New England alone, for he is well known throughout the United States as a gifted public orator. For two hours bespoke and held his audience spellbound. After announcing that as his sermon would be a polkical one, he would omit the reading of a scripture lesson, he announced his theme. When he came to the sentence "Nebraska never had a better loved sou than Bryan," the audience for the mo ment forgot they were in church aiid gave vent to applause. Mr. Cason said hi part: The laws of prosperity are to be discovered, not constructed. The real legislator for whom this nation waits is he who shall find and dare -to proclaim the perfect social order fore-ordained by justice from the beginning of the world. The real anarchist is he who seeks to violate the laws of nature for the exclusive benefit of a small fraction of the community. During the present campaign the epithet "anarchist1 ' has been hurled at the heads cf some of the noblest and most capable men that this generation has produced, The fierce search light of publicity has blazed upon these men for years and not a single corrupt official act has ever been discovered. Bryan is caricatured, just as Lincoln was, as a highwayman, as a pirate, even as the devil, and in many similar ways. Whether Bryan's political views are entirely correct or not, who can deny that he is a citizen of whom auy nation in the world might boast? Whether we consider the sus tained ability of his addresses, his gentlemanly indurance of slander misrepresentation, his unsullied public career, or the magnetism of his unaffected cor diality to the 'sweat stained masses that greet him at every depot, we cannot avoid admiring him as a sturdy specimen ot our American manhood. Compare him with the gaged individual who trembles in his mortgaged house lest Hanna may foreclose compare him with that unfortunate Napoleon who h. s already met his Wellington and surrendered his convictions, and it is plain to see which best represents the principles of the Declaration of independence. Bryan is the spokesman of the half-awakened producers, who form nine-tenths of the popula tion. He and his associates have revived the apostolic power of "casting out devils" in the Dem ocratic party and of raising the dead to life among the Republi can rank and file, They have given us at last a real Issue instead of a sham one, and though their remedy may seem inadequate to progressive thinkers it is in the right direc tion and in accordance with the people's will. During the last few years we have been rapidly developing a slave element in our population a prope'rtyless class entirely dependent upon the sale of their labor. No longer does Jack hob nob with his master. The rich and poor do not live in the same quarters of the city. A second se cession has split our society into two hostile elements and it is childish to howl "anarchist" at the patriot who proclaims the unwelcome fact and seeks to weld the nation into unity agaiu by repealing the laws that caused it to split asunder. America is the workingman's "Paradise Lost," and it can neer be regained by passive obedience to the serpent. Our carpenters build magnifi cent mansions and live in rented tenements themselves. Our me chanics construct electric lights and use kerosene at home. Thcv manufacture pianos and do not own a tin whistle. They build carriages and go afoot. Our mi ners dig gold and die poor. They delve in dangerous coal mines and lack fuel in the win ter. Our farmers raise grain and want for food, export cotton and wool and Jack clothing, sell cat tle and are without meat. Our marvelous inventions have been monopolized in spite of the daily miracles of our mas chinery the hungry still lack food and the homeless wander through the streets. Step by step the moneyless man is losing his right to exist. Every recent change in legislation has been made to protect property and to disfranchise men. Armories are erected and school houses for gotten. Immense grants of land are bestowed upon railroads, but the settlers upon those grants are evicted. Trades union lead ers are imprisoned for having contempt for a contemptible judge, while monopolies are aid ed by injunctions and Federal troops. To-day Shakespeare has been revised and Shylock is the hero of the play. Portia's plea for mercy is called revolutionary, and Bassanio is branded as a re pudiator. 3-3 There is hardly a trust or syn dicate that has inaugurated this campaign of threats and ridicule and object lessons that dare open up its own business career to the public. One of these defenders of law and national honor, the Stands ard Oil Company, has illegally increased freight rates, closed rivers and canals, destroyed in ventions, bought up inspectors and put its stamp upon explos sive oil, attacked the property of competitors and blown up rival refineries. These trusts are re ligious at one end and jmuider ous at the other. This lawsbreaking, aggressive spirit of monopoly has found a perfect embodiment in the per son of Mark Hanna. He to-day towers above Mc Kinley and above the Republi can party, the American Blue beard, who slays his workers in stead ofhis wives. The skeletons of the Seamen's union, the Miners' union and the Street Car Men's union hang bleeding in his closet. When McKinley was Gov ernor of Ohio Hanna was his guardian. Therefore, in criti cising Bryau's opponent, we look uot at the servant, but at the master not at McKinley, the most pitable figurehead in pub lic life to-day, but at Hanna, his owner and tyrant. Give Hanna four years of power and he will paint the White House black!" He will utterly destroy every vestige of trades unionism, for he will have the army, the navy and the Treasury at his com mand. He will discover that it is cheaper to abolish manhood suffrage than to buy votes, and next November may be the last chance that moneyless men ever may have to record their vote for President. Many Republi can workingmen are - thought lessly going to the ballot box just as an ox goes to a barbecue gaily decorated iu honor of its own death.. The men who advertise in the Fisherman & Farmer are the men who have faith in what they have to sell. Having a good thing to offer they want to sell it because the more used the better satisfaction it gives. Worthy Your Confidence. The success of Hood's Sarsaparillain conquering scrofula in whatever way it may manifest itself is vouched for by thousands who were severely afflicted by this prevalent disease, but who now rejoice over a permanent cure by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Scrofula may appear as a humor, or it may attack the glands of the neck, or break out in dreadful run ning sores on the body or limbs. At tacking the mucous mcmbrance, it may develop into catarrh or lodging in the lnrgs lead to consumption. Corneas it may, a faithful course of treatment with Hood's Sarsaparilla will overcoms it, for working upon the foundation of all diseases, impure blood, the system is clarified and vitalized, and vigor, strength and health restored to the body.
